Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion Permit -- Horseshoe Meadow to New Army Pass?

Hello!

New guy here.

With a bit of luck, I will get my permit request to climb Mt Whitney granted this summer.

To acclimate myself to the elevation, I was planning to come a few days earlier and hike Horsehoe Meadow to New Army Pass.

Is a permit required for that area? Are there trail maps available?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Chris.

No permits required for day hiking there.

Here's another hike out of Horseshoe Meadow: Trail Peak: Warmup / Acclimatization hike

Here's a map of the area. It's interactive, so you can zoom in or out, move around, and switch types (in the upper right corner) -- the best are t4 Topo High, t1 Terrain, and Satellite.   Map of Horseshoe Meadows area

Wonderful! Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.
